Summary Results

We recorded a net loss of $13.4 million ($0.22 per common share) for the three months ended September 30, 2012 (Q3-2012), compared to a net loss of $7.2 million ($0.12 per common share) for the three months ended September 30, 2011 (Q3-2011). The net loss for Q3-2012 was largely due to a restructuring charge of $9.0 million related to our workforce reduction, exit of redundant leased facilities, and consequent termination of certain contracts; while, the net loss for Q3-2011 was due to expenditures incurred on clinical development efforts and pre-clinical research projects.
